BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a document box that can position andturn documents or papers securely and freely.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional document box includes a lower and an upper housings, andthe lower and the upper housings are engaged together by usingconnectors so that user allows to put into or remove documents from thedocument box.

However, such a conventional document box still has the followingdisadvantages:

The upper and the lower housings are made by different molds to increaseproduction cost.

In addition, although documents or papers are placed in the documentbox, they are not fixed securely.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate theafore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a document boxthat can position and turn documents or papers securely and freely.

Further object of the present invention is to provide a document box,one paper positioning member of which allows to be selectivelypositioned in the upper or/and the lower housings or not be positionedin the upper and the lower housings.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a document boxthat can lower production cost.

A document box in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the presentinvention comprises:

an upper housing and a lower housing to correspond to each other, andbetween the upper housing and the lower housing being defined two slots;

the upper and the lower housings including two sets of grooves arrangedon one sides thereof individually, and one set of retaining memberssecured in the grooves to retain with another grooves, and the upper andthe lower housings also including integrally formed recesses fixed oninner sides thereof respectively;

the recess serving to insert a set of paper positioning member forpositioning papers;

wherein the paper positioning member includes an integral formed bottomplate having two pillars secured thereon, and two supports are formed ona side piece which extends upward to correspond to the two pillars, thesupports include two twisted extensions connected thereon respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be clearer from the following descriptionwhen viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, forpurpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordancewith the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a document box in accordance with a preferredembodiment of the present invention comprises an upper housing 11 and alower housing 12, both of which are made by the same mold to correspondto each other, thereby lowering production cost; and between the upperhousing 11 and the lower housing 12 being defined two slots 13, 14 so asto movably open and close the upper and the lower housings 11, 12; theupper and the lower housings 11, 12 including two sets of grooves 15, 16and 17, 18 arranged on one sides thereof individually, such that whenthe upper and the lower housing 11, 12 are covered togethercorrespondingly, one set of retaining members 23, 24 are secured in thegrooves 17, 18 to retain with the grooves 15, 16; and the upper and thelower housing 11, 12 also including integrally formed recesses 31, 32fixed on inner sides thereof respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the recess 31 serves to insert a set of paperpositioning member 40 for positioning papers, and the paper positioningmember 40 includes an integral formed bottom plate 41 having two pillars42, 43 secured thereon, and two supports 45, 46 are formed on a sidepiece 44 which extends upward to correspond to the two pillars 42 and43, the supports 45, 46 include two twisted extensions 47, 48 connectedthereon respectively so that fitting holes 51, 52 are fitted to upperends of the pillars 42, 43 as shown in FIG. 4, such that the documentsfixed to the pillars 42, 43 can be turned to the supports 45 smoothly.When taking out documents from the pillars 42, 43 or putting then to thepillars 42, 43, the extensions 47, 48 are removed from the fitting holes51, 52 as illustrated in FIG. 5.

The side piece 44 includes an inserting member 49 formed on a centralportion thereof to be movably inserted into or taken from the recesses31, 32 so as to retain or remove documents.

With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, when the paper positioning member 40 isput to the upper housing 11, and the extensions 47, 48 are fitted to thefitting holes 51, 52 individually, a first paper 60 allows to be turnedto a predetermined position which a second paper 61 is located so thatwhen after the first paper 60 is used, it is turned to the lower housing12, and then another paper is used continuously, thus obtainingoperational convenience.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, two storing members 40 are placed tocorresponding sides of the upper and the lower housings 11, 12 to retaindifferent papers and documents, achieving flexible operation. As shownin FIG. 8, two sets of the storing members 40 are disposed to thedocument box without interfering with each other. The storing members 40are fixed in the recesses 31, 32 (as shown in FIG. 3) of the upper andthe lower housings 11, 12 to be proximate to the central points of oneside walls of the upper and the lower housings 11, 12 so that thestoring members 40 are spaced apart after covering the upper and thelower housings 11, 12.

Referring to FIG. 9, the upper and the lower housings 11, 12 areretained with each other by using the retaining members 23, 24. Toextinguish different types of documents, receiving chambers 71, 72, 73,74 are mounted to another sides of the upper and the lower housings 11,12 individually to insert a label 80, indicating the type of thedocuments stored in the document box.

Thereby, one or two sets of paper positioning members are movablydisposed to the integrally formed document box to obtain flexible usage.

While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance withthe present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art thatfurther embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of thepresent invention.
